Cons
"The support could improve."

More Broadcom StrataXGS Cons →

"The security of the solution always has room for improvement.""There is room for improvement in the update process, especially the web UI update process.""I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass."""VLAN can be improved, but I have to check that with the company expert. I have different switch models, but they don't have all the same interface. I don't know whether lower-level switches don't have the same interface as the better quality ones. I might have two different model types.""If there is any fluctuation in power then we will face an outage with our POE switches, so this is something that should be improved.""Configuration can be complex.""We have had some rare occasions with glitches, so the stability can be improved.""We have some problems with the performance of our HPE Ethernet Switches because they are old."
